When i saw that it was 34 Pages i knew it really was over. It was nice seeing all these Characters in kinda happy circumstances but overall it just feels insanely rushed and like Part 2 was for nothing.
Going to remember Part 1 insanely well and just keep it at that.
Thought there was an underlying theme somewhere but this ending was kind of a nothing burger, even if I know why it happened, resetting all that progress was still lame.
I think that it should have... "earned" more? Maybe "earned" isn't the right word, but I don't know how to put it.
Like, I think hitting the reset button and giving Denji a second shot at life could have worked in the right context, but the last few chapters don't build up to it enough. Denji wasn't in that bad of state, things could have gone better where he was at.
Maybe something like Death being eaten is undone, but the new version of her cause the Apocalypse and Pochita realize "oh, it all happened because of me? Denji could have gotten a good life if it wasn't for me".
No, earned is the right word. A story builds and builds upon the previous chapters to establish something meaningful as its denouement and its primary thesis. If the ending matches the build up of the previous parts, whether by playing it straight or by subverting it, as long as there's a consistency to the ending it would feel earned.
Here, it doesn't feel earned because it's tonally out of touch with the rest of the story. It's too different, happy in a way that is almost fanservice and it doesn't really answer any of the questions or resolve any of the plots introduced by the story.
